Can an 80 year old male with type 2 diabetes have liposuction to reduce waist size?

If your primary physician gives approval for elective surgery and your A!C is below 6.7, then you might be a candidate. Please discuss this with your physician first.

Thank you for posting your interesting question. It is possible for you to have liposuction, but you will have to be examined by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with liposuction and obtain pre operative medical clearance. Obviously, your goals must be clear with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon before your liposuction surgery. Best wishes, Richard Wellington Swift. M.D., F.A.C.S.
